Bai returned to China Communication University and had an ideological lunch with his classmates. A journalism student asked Mr. Bai this question: "The news about the shooting in Suning 1+ 1 has caused great repercussions, especially in the police circle. Some people questioned why Bai was called an old man in his fifties when he was doing this program. Since he caused four deaths and five injuries, why not call him a suspect? What was Bai's idea at that time in the known facts? Moreover, after the storm of public opinion, has the view on this matter changed? "

Respond to classmates

"Through the rebound of many policemen, I am still dissatisfied with what I said. In fact, the first thing I saw was his grief and indignation after the sacrifice of his comrades, as well as his long-term grievances, pressures and inner grievances.

When we were doing this news, the shooting happened a few hours ago and the live broadcast was on the same day. Almost everything is a question mark. The investigation report only came out yesterday, and eight days have passed. The police didn't say anything at the time. I quoted Weibo, the official police officer, in the program, and it also used a very neutral statement.

I want to emphasize here that (at that time) I didn't know whether he was a mental patient or whether he committed suicide or was shot.

When all the facts are not clear, we should first use neutral words, which is the criterion of news.

In the past, our news was defined as soon as it started, which led to many lessons and mistakes. Check the information slightly. During the shooting in Qing 'an, the county leaders expressed sympathy to the police the next day, which caused an uproar in the media and the public. Because everyone will think that it is impossible to express a definition of "sympathy" without clear facts. Therefore, news should have news standards. Respect and respect are bound to come, so why rush at the beginning of the news?

Every industry should have its own rules. Doing news is not to impress China, but to impress China. I have interviewed countless policemen since I filmed Touching China in 2002. How many policemen have tears in their eyes? Are they all fake? At this moment, did I become the opposite of the police when I adhered to the guidelines of the news?
